36.
Glue the ¼” sq. leading edge into place on each wing half, beveling the center parts to be flush to each other.
37.
Insert the main 1/16” wing tips into place as shown. You may need to lightly sand in between the spars for it to fit. Make sure the
trailing edge of the wing tip lines up with the wing trailing edge.
38.
Use the extra 3/32” x 3/8” pieces included and glue them to the top and bottom of the wing tip in front of and behind the spars as
shown below.
39.
Glue the 1/16” Tip doublers in place on top of the wing tip as shown in the image below.
40.
Sand the leading edge to shape. Sand the wing tips smooth and rounded on the outside.
41.
Lightly sand the leading edge sheeting to make sure it’s nice and smooth.
42.
Take one of the 50” pieces of CF. Start at one wingtip and glue it down over the spar on the top of the wing, using thin CA, starting
at one wing tip and working your way to the other wing tip. Use some plastic wrap around your fingers to make sure it stays up
against the sheeting and stays smooth.
43.
Apply the other 50” length of CF to the bottom of the wing the same way as you did the top, one continuous piece from wingtip to
wingtip.
44.
Use a 0.100” drill bit (or slightly smaller if you do not have that size) and drill through the bottom of the front wing mount holes
through the sheeting on the top of the wing.
45.
Make sure the wing bolts fit smoothly through the bolt hole. After you are sure they are smooth, reinforce the holes with this CA
(obviously without the bolts in there!)
46.
Cover the wing with whatever covering material you have chosen. We recommend So-Lite, 1.5 mil Mylar, or something similar.
Do not use a heavier covering material because you want to keep the plane as light as possible for the best flying performance.
47.
Drill a hole in the wingtip as shown on the plans for the CF tube. Use a center punch to mark the center point so the drill bit does
not slip. Rough up the Carbon Fiber throwing peg in the center with sandpaper and round off the ends. (DO NOT BREATHE THE
CF DUST!!!!) Insert the CF peg through the hole and glue with epoxy. If you’re right handed, the peg goes in the left wing.
